ah that was a good idea - did that. and indeed I got loads of "epoll_wait"
messages spamming my terminal. but that doesnt tell me anything yet,
right?

>And what kernel version is that?
2.6.32
does it matter?

i was also about to try bisecting udev from 167 to 168 but have to postpone
that to later as the current debian sid perl 5.12 transition doesnt allow me
to install the required build dependencies for udev in debian yet. but once that
issue is resolved and I didnt find any other solution to the problem i will
definitely bisect it to get to the source of the error.
